Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 366: Chapter 170 The Weirdness of Sun Star_2

“After all, I merely wish to borrow a strand of True Sunfire to purify my Yin God, not to take over the Sun Star and become the Sun Star Monarch,” he said. “The difficulty should not be too great.”

With that thought, Shen Yuan no longer hesitated.

If he could resolve the issue of the Yin God purifying sooner, Shen Yuan would have the chance to undergo a transformation into a Yang God earlier and step into the Spirit Refining Stage.

Within the courtyard, Shen Yuan, who was sitting at the stone table, suddenly underwent a change in his aura.

Without any apparent change in his outward appearance, at that moment Shen Yuan seemed to have taken a step from being a cultivator to becoming a Supreme Emperor who commanded the heavens, his eyes brimming with boundless grandeur.

In the Courtyard Secret Realm, the massive jujube tree lowered its branches and leaves, and the green vines in the long pavilion bent their bodies as if they had sprouted sentience.

The spirit objects planted in the Spiritual Farm and the weeds on the ground all bent over, as if they had come to life, paying homage to Shen Yuan.

In contrast, the pangolin and Bai Xue, as intelligent beings, did not perceive any abnormalities.

At this moment, Shen Yuan seemed to enter a mysterious state. Under the influence of the Gods Purging Divine Power, it was as if he had become the king of the entire world, and with just a word, he could issue commands to all creatures.

In the midst of reverence from the creatures, he slowly raised his right hand and, using his finger as a pen, he began to inscribe a massive “Imperial Edict” character.

The golden character was branded between heaven and earth, and then Shen Yuan’s voice, filled with majesty, slowly rose.

“Imperial Edict, Great Sun!”

The next moment, high above the firmament of the Primal Chaos Realm, the Great Sun that hung in the sky suddenly burst into an intense radiance.

Far beyond the Primal Chaos Realm, the long-silent Sun Star trembled faintly, as if waking from an ancient slumber.

Touched by a few strands of resplendent golden color, the Yin God stepped out from the Spiritual Platform, bathing in the dazzling light of the Great Sun.

An ordinary Yin God would have surely dissipated in an instant if touched by such scorching radiance, but Shen Yuan seemed indifferent to this sunlight.

Even though the intensity of the sunlight and the True Sunfire contained within it were several times stronger than before, they were still unable to achieve the effect of purifying Shen Yuan’s Yin God.

“Too weak.”

“Not enough!”

Shen Yuan’s voice was indifferent as he made his assessment.

The Yin God looked towards the sky within the Courtyard Secret Realm. Previously, Shen Yuan had used the Darkness-Light Sword endowed with Zhuming Chengye Qi to manifest the Great Sun within the Secret Realm.

But as the Darkness-Light Sword restored part of the Time True Intent, Shen Yuan abandoned this method, choosing to draw upon the Great Sun of the Primal Chaos Realm instead.

Now, such a level of the Great Sun clearly could no longer satisfy Shen Yuan.

Sensing the faint connection with the Sun Star, Shen Yuan had a sudden inspiration.

“Since the Sun Star projects across realms to manifest the Great Sun, then could it be possible to project the mass of the Sun Star into the Courtyard Secret Realm?

If it were possible to manifest a true Great Sun in the Courtyard Secret Realm, the concentrated radiance of the Great Sun would surely achieve the purpose of purifying the Yin God.”

In his normal state, Shen Yuan would never have such a crazy idea.

Even the most top-tier grotto heavens sacred grounds would struggle to accommodate the Great Sun, let alone this narrow Secret Realm.

However, under the influence of Gods Purging Divine Power, Shen Yuan, who commanded all beings, didn’t see any problem with this idea, as his will represented everything.

Shen Yuan’s right hand slowly opened its fingers; he did not mobilize the Incense Offering Divinity Path with the Gods Purging Divine Power but instead used Divine Skills as a medium to call out to the Sun Star suspended above all realms.

In a trance, Shen Yuan’s gaze followed the source of the sunlight as if he had entered into a pitch-black starry sky.

A Great Sun that had burned for countless ages stood amid the stars, its intense flames dimming slowly, as if it had lost the might to illuminate the ten directions of the realms.

Upon that burning colossal star, terrifying cracks nearly split the entire star apart, and grand palaces lay in ruins across the star’s surface, vaguely bearing witness to a past splendor.

Bodies of warriors in golden armor lay scattered and broken across the star’s surface, untouched by the True Sunfire’s burning for thousands of years.

Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at those corpses, and the next moment, the bodies that had fallen for thousands of years suddenly opened their mouths.

“Emperor, you have returned!”

Their voices were filled with surprise, reverence, regret… a multitude of complex emotions intertwined, giving Shen Yuan an eerie chill.

It was not just one corpse; following the first sound, the other bodies also began to roar with joy.

“Emperor, you have returned!”

“Emperor, you have returned!”

Countless voices interweaved at this moment, causing Shen Yuan’s state amidst Gods Purging Divine Power to suddenly plummet.

His pursuit of the sun’s light vanished in an instant, and Shen Yuan still found himself within the courtyard, with everything he had experienced resembling an illusion.

Shen Yuan’s gaze became immensely profound, knowing full well that the fleeting glimpse he saw was definitely not an illusion.

Because the collapsing palace atop the burning star was identical to the Taiyang Palace he had accidentally seen ten thousand years ago.

That was the Sun Star, the Sun Star after Donghua Emperor’s fall!

Although unclear about what exactly happened, that strange scene made Shen Yuan realize that there was great terror on the Sun Star!

With this in mind, Shen Yuan’s first reaction was to abandon the idea of attracting the Sun Star projection.

However, as Shen Yuan’s thoughts slightly stirred, he suddenly found that the connection between him and the Sun Star had unknowingly grown manifold.

If previously Shen Yuan’s attraction to the Sun Star was entirely dependent on the Gods Purging Divine Power, now even without using it, he could easily draw upon the Sun Star’s radiance.

With the current connection between Shen Yuan and the Sun Star, attracting the Sun Star projection with the help of Gods Purging Divine Power was not out of the question.

Realizing this, Shen Yuan suddenly fell silent.

If attracting the Sun Star projection was difficult, care for the weirdness within the Sun Star and giving up on the projection would not pose any problems.

But now that he was fully capable of drawing the Sun Star projection, to give up simply because of the potential dangers lurking behind it would be an immense loss.

“Since I possess Gods Purging Divine Power, it means I’m carrying on Donghua Emperor’s karma. Sooner or later, I will form a connection with the Sun Star; even if I give up now, I cannot hide from it forever.

After all, the Primal Chaos Realm’s Great Schism has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and not even the Three Pure Ones and Four Sovereigns can forcibly intervene within the Primal Chaos Realm. No matter how strong the Sun Star’s strangeness is, it cannot breach the Primal Chaos Realm and affect me.”

With his mind made up, Shen Yuan’s chest flickered with the fire of the Gods Purging Divine Capacity Seed. Using the connection between himself and the Sun Star, he slowly issued an Imperial Edict.

“Return of Great Sun!”

In that silent expanse of space, the brilliance of the burning Great Sun brightened several degrees in an instant.

Within the Courtyard Secret Realm, the original Sun light suddenly extinguished.

In the boundless darkness, Shen Yuan’s fingers slowly opened as a flickering flame quietly emerged and swiftly expanded in his palm.

Outside the Courtyard Secret Realm, Gong Buyu, dressed in casual clothes and carrying a shopping basket, approached the gate, followed by a young man with a strange expression on his face, who was none other than Xue Mingzhi, who had broken through to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

At this moment, Xue Mingzhi’s mind was a tangled mess.

His purpose for this visit was naturally to see Shen Yuan; unexpectedly, he ran into Gong Buyu buying vegetables on the way.

Upon seeing Gong Buyu for the first time, Xue Mingzhi’s brain froze.

No matter what, he couldn’t associate the frosty girl haggling over vegetables with the elders in the market with the prideful first genius who previously dominated her peers like a Moon Palace Fairy.

If Gong Buyu had been of common birth from the beginning, it would be one thing, but Xue Mingzhi knew very well Gong Buyu was not of ordinary birth. Her father was a Cultivation World magnate who had survived from ten thousand years ago, ruling over an ancient grotto heavens, whose status could possibly surpass even that of the Great Xia Princess.

Like a puppet, Xue Mingzhi watched the entire process of Gong Buyu buying vegetables, then followed her back to the courtyard gate.

“Could this be the legendary worldly cultivation, refining the heart through the mortal world?”

“Or is this a test that the master has set for his disciples?”

Xue Mingzhi was filled with bewilderment.

As Gong Buyu pushed open the courtyard gate, the two stepped inside.

The moment they stepped into the courtyard, Gong Buyu frowned, for it was far too dark inside.

Even at night, the Courtyard Secret Realm would be illuminated by starlight, with the cold of year-end weather transformed into moonlight spilling down.

Not to mention that it was currently daytime, such pitch-blackness was definitely abnormal.

Xue Mingzhi, who had visited the courtyard on several occasions, also harbored doubts, yet he did not speak out as they both briskly walked the cobblestone path into the courtyard.

A gentle voice rose to Xue Mingzhi’s ear.

“Has Buyu returned from buying vegetables?”

“Wait a moment, there’s a problem with the sun, I’ll just change it round and all will be well.”

Xue Mingzhi only saw Shen Yuan in front of a stone table, his right hand virtually cradling a golden orb, hoisting it up into the air as if changing a lightbulb.

The next moment, sunlight bathed everything, as the Great Sun returned to its place!
